Top Ten Trends Affecting China Mobile’s Web Development Plan – English Translation Version

In 2016, China Mobile put forward the “big connection” strategy. On the one hand, it will accelerate the construction of basic network capacity and network transformation, constantly consolidate the foundation for development, and strive to achieve leading network capacity. On the other hand, it will accurately grasp the business development trend, adhere to the full-swing integration development, to achieve a steady growth in business revenue.

Facing the development trend in the next three to five years, the network construction of China Mobile not only needs to implement the national development requirements, but also needs to meet the needs of individuals, families, government and enterprise users, and also needs to conform to the trend of technological development.

The state requires state-owned enterprises to play a greater role in promoting economic development and maintain and increase their value. The new normal of China’s economic development is more obvious. The central government has made a series of arrangements to promote the economic transformation and upgrading and the transformation of driving forces, requiring the digital economy to become bigger and stronger and expand new space for economic development.

General secretary Xi has made six important instructions for accelerating the construction of a cyber power, aiming to make unremitting efforts towards the goal of building a cyber power. Six speed up including: accelerate the network information technology independent innovation, accelerating the economic development of digital economy to promote and accelerate improve the level of network management, speed up the ability of cyberspace security defense, speed up the use of network information technology to promote social governance, and accelerate the promotion of cyber space in China’s international voice and rules.

In December 2016, the state council issued the 13th five-year national informatization plan, which proposed the overall development goal of national informatization.

Broadband networks are playing an increasingly prominent role as strategic public technical facilities in the new era. High-speed, high-quality and inexpensive broadband network infrastructure is an important prerequisite and basic platform for the implementation of major national strategies and action plans such as “made in China 2025”, “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” and “Internet plus”. Since 2015, China Mobile has been deeply implementing the international requirements of speed up and fee reduction. With the continuous implementation of measures such as zero traffic, reducing international roaming fee and canceling long roaming fee, China Mobile has achieved a substantial decline in data traffic fee.
